On Time: The Musical

A short time ago I did a post about time featuring photos by my friend, Steve. Being this is my first full week back in the saddle with my regular routine, I thought it would be a good time to follow that post with some audience participation.

Here’s your challenge. In your comment, post a video of a song with “Time” as part of the title. There are many, but it would be great if you posted something that is part of your memory – a movie, a song from your youth, a memorable moment, or whatever. If you can, return later in the day to enjoy a wide array of musical treats.

Now the tough part, no duplicates.

I intentionally chose one that is a bit different, then again, that’s me. Enjoy Time from Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack to Inception.

Victoria,
Interestingly, I used a video from a movie I didn’t see … so thanks for endorsing it! Pink Floyd’s Time was the first song that came to my mind when I was preparing this post, so thanks for using it! Meanwhile, I patiently wait for some of the others. 🙂

How interesting that the first song that came to mind was Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle! That song always touches me. But #2…Time Passages, by Al Stewart. I don’t know what happens if I add this link…I apologize if nothing happens at all! 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRKyGhgoNE8

Hey Frank, here’s my selection, “Time of the Season”, a classic song released by the Zombies in 1968. I remember when I was a kid going on family outings on weekends; the time when my dad would most be around. He was a traveling salesman so often he was away during the week. I looked forward to Friday night when he’d come home. I’d wait by the window watching for his car. On the weekends, he was there for my siblings and me — something my mother cherished since his dealing with us gave her time to do her own thing. On our family outings, when we’d all be together — Dad, Mom, my sis and bro and Granny, Dad always tuned the radio to my favorite stations.

Lame,
Ah yes … 1968 – one of the craziest years in modern history … and a wonderful song. I didn’t realize the song’s writer was Ron Argent – who had a band named Argent. Meanwhile, thanks for sharing you special attachment to this song …. ah yes, the anxiousness of time while waiting.

Vanessa,
That’s ok as I found the missing = sign. Meanwhile, glad Time after Time took you back to your times. Because it was already used, here’s another one from that era. Can you relate to this one? Here’s Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpmILPAcRQo

Oh Colline posted her Time After Time just a few minutes before me, I was already on this page and had looked through to check it hadn’t been posted first, and then went off to find it on YouTube, and in the meantime she posted it, ha! Oh yes, Time of my Life is a definite fave too, well the whole movie really!

Guapo,
I’ve been anxious to see your additions, and not surprised with two (as there are many). Interestingly, you provided some crunch and licks with the axe. Well done! … and to the best of my knowledge, ABBA did not have any songs with “time” in the title.

I have been a massive fan of Hans Zimmer since I saw the movie “Backdraft “… this is a movie I haven’t seen, but I have listen to the soundtrack, beautiful .. did a post about him a while ago … http://wp.me/p293Pw-3en

Ginger,
Great pick … heck, I go back to their first hit (before it was a hit on Wooden Nickel record label). However, I now that the flesh eaters are preventing you from having too much time on your hands. 😉

TBM,
Because Davey Jones came from your current side of the pond, thought of you with this one … although I imagine they were before your time. Here’s The Monkeys with Looking for the Good Times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUdu4S7SkqQ

I like this song because it reminds me of a really nice trip with someone very dear to me, I started singing it because we were really late and needed to be in the airport, I was rushing him, then on the the taxi, the taxi driver was driving like crazy, no seat belts available, he wouldn’t respect the lights, wild ride, thought we were going to die when he changed lanes to the upcoming traffic because it was “empty”, out time was ticking out, and I kept singing that song making the other nervous.

I am such a fan of “Time to Say Goodbye”. I have the Sarah Brightman version and the one with Andrea Bocelli. And I think that Katherine Jenkins does a spectacular job with it as well. Nice selections though – especially the Zombies!

Renee,
Glad you found several you liked. But there is a price to pay for not posting one … that is I post for you. Because you mentioned Time Warp, here’s a jazz tune of the same name, but nothing to do with Rocky Horror … Chick Correa with Time Warp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQLM0S0G2Us

I did have a dog once (Kling) who used to sing along with me while I did my vocal lessons for voice class. It did not make me feel like I had a future in opera. Which is just as well as it is one form of music I don’t like.

Since I’m late to the party. Maybe this is a fitting video by one of my all time favorite performers. Tom Waits. One of the best concerts I’ve ever attended – bar none.
Enjoy Tom Waits – CLOSING TIME http://youtu.be/kGp1U3g9REA

You are a man of substance, Frank. good thing, The Right Angle saw you as more than just a good time.
(Ratt opening for Poison was (I think) the first concert I went to (might have been Iron Maiden.). I’ve been trying to redeem myself ever since.) … Nothing but a Good Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC9P8-B42cA

Growing up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in the 70’s was a special time. Home of one of the all time great bands The Guess Who. They ruled the airwaves in their hometown … No Time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUzLpDQyVNo

Did I broke the rules ???? ….. there is nothing more connected to time than clocks. And our time is measured in seconds, minutes, hours .. that makes days .. weeks and … really time that we lose from our lives. Mine is the most suitable … for this challenge. I PROTEST!!!!!!!

Oh Frank, I’m coming late to the party, but what a GREAT idea you’ve had. I don’t think anyone else mentioned this, but this is the first song that came to mind: the Chambers Brother’s 60’s classic “Time has Come Today” Here’s the link; what memories this brings back. http://youtu.be/oxpcZrQQM-4

Teeny,
Glad you enjoyed this post. FYI: On Friday April 12th I’ll be announcing Act 2 of Time: The Musical. I’m assuming you mean this one from Britney … Baby One More Time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82O5bsQsShY

This was very clever, Frank, and I really enjoyed it. So much so tht I’m going to search iTunes for the Lou Rawls “All Things in Time.” Man, I sure do miss him. Thanks for an entertaining Sunday morning.
